  8. Asymptomatic intestinal colonization - 75% of patients Nasopharynx Colonization -19% of patients Pneumonia #3 hospital-acquired cause Bacteremia Urinary tract infection Klebsiella pneumoniae • Genetically tractable • Iron-chelating Siderophores are major virulence factors RICHARDS, M.J. ET AL (1999) PEDIATRICS. 103:E39; ZAOUTIS, T.E. ET AL (2005) PEDIATRICS. 115: 942; LAWLOR, M.S. ET. AL, (2007) INFECT IMMUN. 75:1463; NASSIF, X. AND SANSONETTI, P.J. (1986) INFECT IMMUN. 54:603

  9. Innate Immune Response to Microbial Iron Metabolism • Iron is required by both bacterial pathogens and human hosts • Gram-negative pathogens acquire iron by secreting iron chelators called siderophores • Enterobactin • Lipocalin 2 is an innate immune protein that binds Enterobactin to inhibit bacterial growth Lipocalin 2 Enterobactin

  10. Glycosylated Enterobactin • Glucose on catechol rings prevents Lcn2 binding • Yersiniabactin Fischbach, M.A. et. al. 2006. PNAS USA, 103:16502 K. Pneumoniae May produce Siderophores to evade Lipocalin 2 Does K. pneumoniae require these siderophores to cause disease?

  11. Yersiniabactin is prevalent among K. pneumoniae respiratory isolates

  12. The interaction between siderophores and lipocalin 2 determines the pattern of pneumonia Bachman, M.A., Lenio, S., Schmidt, L. et al 2012 Submitted.

  13. + LCN2 Lipocalin 2 bound to enterobactin triggers inflammation NELSON ET AL. INFECTION AND IMMUNITY 2007

  14. Ent-Lcn2 may alter gene expression via hypoxia-response pathways • HIF-1α • INDUCED BY HYPOXIA OR IRON CHELATION • REGULATES: • MYELOID CELL FUNCTION • PRO-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE SIGNALING (TNF) • CELL SURVIVAL/APOPTOSIS • ANGIOGENESIS (VEGFA) R.
